Family members of an Indigenous man who died after being shot on a Saskatchewan farm are attending an inquest into the fatal shooting of another Indigenous man.

The mother and brother of Colten Boushie sat in a Battleford, Sask., courtroom Tuesday to support the family of Brydon Whitstone.

Whitstone, who was 22 from Onion Lake Cree Nation, died after he was shot in October 2017 following a pursuit that RCMP say began when they got reports of a man being chased and shot at in North Battleford.

Jace Baptiste, Boushie’s brother, says they wanted to support the Whitstone family in the same way people supported them during the trial for Gerald Stanley.
